I rooted with weaksauce and then tried to remove the Verizon bloatware with "no bloat" and a couple of other apps like it. They say the apps uninstalled but then they just get downloaded again.
What did you do to remove or freeze the crapware after root?

How did you get Titanium to write to the card? I keep getting "folder is not writable" when I try to select a backup folder.

Titanium Backup is the first app I downloaded after I rooted and I have had zero problems with it so I'm not sure what the issue is? I am just using the default storage location, have u tried to switch the location or has it just given you problems from the first install?
my backup directory is: /storage/emulated/legacy/TitaniumBackup
That's what he is saying. .. TB works fine if you use default location (internal storage), but won't write to external sd card as the folder location.

My bad! Not sure then... I know that with our root method that we can only write to certain directories but I don't have a need to change mine as of now so I have not tried but I will report back.
I just froze/disabled everything for now. It does the job.
Are we not able to write to system yet?

Thanks, that worked perfectly. With 32g internally, that's plenty of room to use for Titanium (and spare the space on the external sdcard).

I understand that the internal sd card mounts here:
mnt/emmc
but the problem is i cant get something things to work i believe because of it.
eg... i cant take a picture with the camera because it finds that there is no storage.
i cant get Titanium backup to work. I understand i can change the backup location, but when i go to do so, the app force closes on me.
any ideas on what i can do?
Regards,
I've never been able to get Titanium Backup to "see" the internal SD card (emmc), so I just set it to backup to my external, real SD card.
yes but i cant even get to that point, because it FCs as soon as i want to change backup location

Try moving your Titanium folder over to the corect path. In other words put the folder back in the path mnt/sd and out of mnt/emmc/. It will go to the phones external partition instead of the actual external sd card that you put in.
Then put your settings in titanium back to the way they were origanally
I decided to install Clean Rom 4.0 Dev edition so I did a quick tibu, then booted into twrp and made a nandroid of my current setup
I then went to install DE clearing caches and /data
I went to install the rom and it wasn't there
the only thing on my SD card was my backup and it was corrupted.
I plugged my phone in and mounted the sd card and my computer said it was unreadable so I had to format it
I love starting over
I had cwm originally and randomly lost files off my sd card or were corrupted after mounting as usb so switched to twrp and have had the same problems with losing random files and corruption of files. So I don't think it's specific to the recovery its something else that's causing it. Wish I new what it was because it's quite annoying. I've resorted to only transfering files via dropbox or lan with es file explorer but it's definitely a pain when transferring a Rom.

QFT. while I've never had to pull a backup from the cloud I'm glad to have it as an option more than ever seeing as I no longer have an ext SD.
I also started syncing my photos to dropbox every day or so i can't lose those either.

I have it set up as well luckily that's one set files that I have never lost. It's weird there's no rhyme or reason to what gets wiped I've lost pictures data apps that I had saved copies of on my card data from apps. I just don't get it. I wonder if it's actually the internal sd card that's wonky or some way the usb is being handled when mounting.

Well I don't have to pull it from the cloud since it syncs to my desktop automatically but man it saves you from having to remember to do it.

I've wondered the same thing... It might not be recovery related since it happens with both.
That's odd, because I just flashed TWRP 2.1.7 yesterday and I was unable to wipe my SD card. I had to boot into the system and 'Delete Phone Storage' through the settings menu. Nothing would happen when I would try to wipe through TWRP.

Go to cnet.com and download Recuva. Then do a deep scan and it will recover the stuff you lost... worked for me

I had the same problems with my internal storage on HTC Touch Diamond. I lost a lot of files with that phone. With the HTC One X I have only lost a few Pictures that got corrupted, I think it all has to do with continuous flashing ROMs
Ahh, I hate this bug!! I've lost several things and have had tons of pics become corrupted.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
I just lost a few photo's today. First time I've encountered this bug. Guess its time to get dropbox and have it sync my photo's and tibu stuff.
I'm pretty damn paranoid, so I've started doing an SD Card dump right before flashing a ROM using ADB.
$ adb pull /sdcard/
Probably overkill, since I have almost everything important backed up somewhere, but I'd rather take the extra thirty minutes and make sure I don't lose anything permanently.
Only thing I was out was time. I back up my photos to drop box and Google plus.

I just drag them from my phone to my dropbox folder on the computer and it syncs
the downer is there's no way to move a whole folder from dropbox to the phone, from the phone
Trying to free up space?
use a app like file explorer.
If you're not using a computer to do so, use a file explorer such as Astro or ES File Explorer, both are free and available in the Play Store. Just throwing this in here, if you plan on deleting CWM backups just boot into Recovery and delete them that way.

if you're deleting nandroid backups, then do it from recovery. It'd delete appropriate data from your blob folder.

Hello,
I have been using Titanium Backup for a few months now. And The only thing that bugs me is that It Cannot Backup .obb Files and Restore it, Respectively.
And I am not talking about backing up Games with over 1 GB of .obb file. I only want to backup 2 - 3 games with .obb less than 100 MB. But Titanium backup can't do this job? I have a pro version.
If I am missing something, please correct me.
thanks.
anyone?
I can only assume .obb files are possibly data files. I've seen them also within many apps. I'm also a pro user. TB might just be limited even in the pro version as to what files it will backup

There's one option to include "External Backups" But it doesn't/ NEVER works for me. I have tried to change it to "Always" but still no luck.

No not a SD card. I think "external" here refers to data files in TB. As claimed by some users. However, that function does nothing on my Galaxy S5. Dunno if it can't support the phone or if its some bug.
titanium website says that It doesn't backup obb files
"Note that Titanium Backup only includes external data that is stored in /sdcard/Android/data/ directory. Some files like the OBB files are big and are downloaded straight from Google, thus never contain user generated content. These files are NOT included and are NOT considered as app external data by Titanium Backup."
